Imagine if politicians actually cared about the health and well-being of the people, instead of feeding corporate greed.

All our lives would be better.

The disgusting hypocrisy of it all? Congress gets socialized health care for life.

They love THEIR socialism. Their paychecks. Their food per diems. Their pension.

[liberalsarecool]

Positive news.

Younger politicians is the path forward.

Yet again, "pro life" and "protect our children" are proven to have been lies this entire time.

Since it’s doing the rounds again, enjoy my peak Halloween costume.

I honestly think cis people making "mad skilled nonbinary barista with a septum ring" memes is a positive development. Public consciousness queer representation depicting people like us as just normal working class people who have jobs like they do and skills that they don't. Respect their fucking pronouns or you're not getting your fucking coffee.

I love how NYC has done everything under the sun to deal with the rat problem and now they’re circled back and are like “Ok. We’ll legalize bodega cats. We need cats manning the food stores.” ancient problems require ancient solutions.

The expectation that you will refer to a trans person by their preferred pronouns and name is not them ‘forcing you to accept them’ it is basic respect. You don’t have to like trans people, you don’t have to ‘believe’ our identities or whatever. You do have an obligation to treat us like people, though. If you had a 40 something cis male coworker named Bill and you repeatedly, pointedly and aggressively called him ‘Shirley’ and exclusively used she/her pronouns to refer to him, that would be a major HR problem. It is not persecution to have to show basic human decency.

but for real though the keep gay people away from children thing is so weird because so many teachers are gay. I mean, even historically. lots of gay women became schoolteachers because the job forbid them to marry during the term of their employment and it was a good excuse to keep men away. and I think we all had at least one nebulously gay teacher at our school, often several and it didn’t kill us and they were usually very good at their job.

The thing about scientific research is that 90% of the labyrinth is dead ends. And therefore, every single dead end that we can verify is important information. You really do need to make a peer-reviewed study to prove that no number of vehicular accidents has a statistically meaningful positive impact on bone cancer, just in case your moron cousin Greg decides to get rich by offering people bone cancer cure tours where you drive a monster truck off a cliff.

Name it "No Shit, Nobel".

I know that it probably goes way back as an instinctive thing, but the first three weeks after humans discovered the whole concept of paternity and that a specific woman's children get half their traits specifically from one of the men she has fucked, and not just vaguely from whichever ones are nearby, must've been funny as hell.

Men watching the kids of the tribe to figure out which one is whose, and every time one of them kids does some dumb toddler things one of the men points at his buddy and goes "hahah that one's clearly yours."

When I was a kid, I didn't know trans men existed. I thought that nobody actually likes being a girl, that's just something that unfortunately happens to you, and you just gotta suck it up and pretend to be happy about it. Something vaguely about how it'd be shameful to admit you'd rather be a man because that's not The Feminist Stance, you just gotta grit your teeth and endure that shit and insist that you prefer it that way.

When I first learned that female-to-male transitioning even exists at all, my first thought was to wonder "why hasn't every woman done this?" How has this been kept secret so well that all women haven't flocked to transitioning if that's a thing you can do?

It was only over years that it actually sunk in that yeah no, women really do just want to be women, like genuinely. For the first 12 or 13 years of my life I wasn't aware that trans men exist, but in a more vague and unaware sense, I did not believe that cis women exist.

When a small kid decks their shit and starts screaming, it's apparently useful to ask them "are you more scared or more hurt?" because they might actually pause the shrieking to understand that adults might not automatically know what they are feeling, and that they can and should use words to communicate whether they need emotional support or medical attention.

I wonder if it could be applied to tumblr. Asking shrieking people "are you disagreeing with what OP said, or are you mad about the way they worded it?"
